Amateur career

Young competed for Wake Forest University in college.[2]

Professional career

Young Monday qualified for the Korn Ferry Tour's Pinnacle Bank Championship in late July 2020 and tied for 11th, giving him entry to the next event; a string of four finishes of 16th or better, culminating with a tie for second at the Nationwide Children's Hospital Championship, earned him enough points to become a special temporary member for the rest of the 2020–21 season.

Young won back-to-back Korn Ferry Tour events in May 2021 and went on to finish 19th on the 2020–21 regular-season points list, earning a PGA Tour card for 2021–22.

In February 2022, Young tied for second at the Genesis Invitational and rose into the top 100 of the Official World Golf Ranking.
